Or not....................
Well----this young lady bought herself a thread due to her very rough start in life. She was the product of a mating of 2 of my 'dinker' beepers and was part of a clutch of 4 viable eggs and 1 slug. Midway along the way one egg molded out. About a week prior to when I believed they should hatch, the third egg became moldy and nothing would reverse that!
Soooo....down to 2 eggs I decided to cut (no debate please that isn't what this thread is for). Within 24 hours one of the last two eggs was hazed and died.
Waiting for her to come out I was checking frequently...woke up one morning when this wee girl was absolutely lifeless in her egg. Clouded serum....everything looked wrong. I decided to break the membrane in a last ditch effort and pulled her head out since I could see some red blood still in the vessels. She literally had her mouth gaping when I pulled it out, looked dead then began to stir a bit. In any event.....I have been on pins and needles and she finally came out this afternoon
She deserves her own thread. She may not be the next great dinker. She may just be one of those normals that everyone disdains....however she is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen---
She is called Polly, since the back of her neck has a little shape of a parrot with its beak open and the eye. (it was to be Crackers if it was a boy)
She is my keeper. (sorry for the long story but...Polly deserves it in my opinion--she shouldn't have been)
